LSU: Master's in Accounting Courses as Undergrad

Any suggestions? I only need 9 hours next semester to graduate, so I'm seeing what else I could take that would count as credit towards a master's degree. I'm already in blaw 4203 so that is out of the question. I'll also being getting internship credit this summer, so I'd really like to knock down two classes before even going in the program.
TIA

I think you need to take 30 hrs while enrolled in the program. If you take masters level classes before enrolled in the program, I think you would need to replace them with approved electives.
I know on my degree audit (from a few years back) if you had already taken BLAW 4203, you needed to take an approved elective in its place. I'd say either take classes that interest you or be aware that you may have to replace the masters level classes you are taking in advance with some intense electives (finance/econ/acct courses in the 7 and 8000 level).

Take the tax research class. It is very useful for learning your way around the tax code, regulatory and administrative processes in addition to the court system.

Ha! You must've not had the current tax research teacher.

The aspiring Nancy Drew? Yeah, I had him for 3 classes. Didn't learn anything in any of them...

Back in the day, Tony Curatola was one of the best Profs on campus. His tax research class was incredible. And, before anyone says anything about "disrespecting" him, he INSISTED that all his students call him Tony, and would cringe if anyone called him "Doctor" or "Professor".

I graduated from the program in 2011. You want to save as many classes 4000 level classes as you can for the masters program. Taking Blaw, advanced accounting, and income tax II (i think that one was 4000) while in the program allowed me to take easier electives in undergrad to fulfill the hours requirement while still getting all of those important core classes. Don't allow those classes to count toward your undergrad. Take Sociology 1001 for that stuff or another easy management class. Advanced accounting with Legoria isn't overly difficult. He's a cool guy and good teacher.

I graduated in '08, bachelors only because of 40 hours as an Engineering student, so I can't comment too much on the upper level accounting classes. After working for big4 Audit for 2.5 years and passing CPA I decided to take a different route with my career. In my opinion, try to build your skills outside of Accounting as well as you can. I feel like so many people pick Accounting because they are good at math and because it's one of highest hired business majors out of college. Truth is, once you start working 60-80 hour weeks you realize just because you are good at something doesnt mean you want to do it for a living. The hardest lesson I had to learn in making a career change is how unmarketable you are as an Audit/Accounting grunt to anything other than Accounting/Financial Reporting/Internal Audit positions. I really got lucky with my current position, and I use some accounting but it's mainly sales, so to speak. Just my 2 cents.
I liked Legoria for Advanced too, 5 years ago after we played USCe he berated our class for the chants that had originated in the student section. What a timely memory...

Yeah, the current teacher isn't as good. That guy sounds pretty legit though.

When you go into the program, take the 7000 level finance class on derivatives, I took it and I learned a lot...it was tough but definitely worth your time

Also, Pace's 7000 level real estate finance class is a great elective and a complete joke. We took one test and if you didn't want to take the final you didn't have to. Thanks for the easy A Pace.

Plus, it was all in one place. I had a good friend in law school at the time so he got me access to the Westlaw and Lexis terminals -- which at the time were right there by the tax materials in the Reading Room.
Overall, the best class I took at LSU. If you chose to, it could involve a great deal of time and work, but it was worth it. Just learning to write your answers in no more than 3 pages was a great exercise and helped a lot down the road.
